Ahead of its quarterly earnings call today, Activision has revealed more on the future of Destiny, which will see a major expansion this year and a sequel next year.

"Activision Publishing, along with its partners at Bungie, expects to bring a large new expansion to Destiny in 2016 and to release a full game sequel in 2017," the investor note reads. Activision also stated that 25 million players have logged more than 3 billion hours in Destiny.

Last month, a report asserted that Destiny's sequel was delayed out of 2016 and into next year.

Bungie.net's This Week at Bungie update added, "We’ll be plotting more specific waypoints as time goes on. Right now, there are hundreds of passionate people at Bungie working to turn the plan for Destiny’s future into the adventures, dangerous enemies, and glittering treasures that await us. As soon as we’re ready, we’ll share the details with you in all the usual places. In the meantime, we’ll keep the conversation rolling with the team on the support front. We’re also gathering up details for spring as the team begins to lock it in."
